Jaguar F-type Project 7 Announced
- Thread starter big reg
- Start date
This is the only vert I would ever buy, just looks amazing imo.....
Following this morning's leak, Jaguar has unveiled the F-Type Project 7.
Set to debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 26th, the model was created by the company's Special Operations division and is being billed as the "fastest and most powerful production Jaguar" ever created.
The company declined to release additional information but Auto Express is reporting the car features a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that develops 567 bhp (422 kW). It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which enables the roadster to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
To cope with the additional thrust, engineers installed new anti-roll bars and beefier front suspension knuckles. Other highlights include adaptive dampers, stiffer springs, carbon-ceramic brakes and a torque vectoring system.
The car's styling closely matches the original Project 7 concept but it has been equipped with larger mirrors and a passenger side carbon fiber rollover hoop. There's also a shorter windscreen and an aerodynamic body kit which enables the car to produce 177 percent more downforce than the F-Type convertible at 299 km/h (186 mph).
Production will reportedly be limited to 250 units and first delivers are slated for the mid-2015.

love the coupe, hate this.
Other than the wing, it looks so damn sexy.
Looks really good!
Wow, absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful looking car.. ay what?
The F-type is sweet looking and a pretty damn good performance value considering the Jaguar lineage. Looks-wise they've stepped up their game vs. Aston Martin.
I've read it is very tail happy at the limit though and has trouble putting the power down, which is a Iet down. I suspect they can fix this. Interesting to note...they are soon putting the third pedal back...
...and doing an AWD version. If I had the wherewithal to swing one, I'd take the stick... sans the AWD.

I love the British racing green and the added power in this model. The pricing with be absolutely ridiculous but the regular coupe R is a damn good bargain vs its competition ( AM vantage V8 and 991 C2 S) the exhaust note on these SC V8 motors are second to none....just orgasmic . Only thing in don't like about the car is the low 6500 redline
Good looking car.
The base model V6 F Types will be worth a quarter of the sticker price in 4 years.
They will make some nice LSX swap platforms I bet.
